The Boston Red Sox are still looking to add as the trade deadline approaches, and the St. Louis Cardinals could be a convenient trading partner.
The trade deadline is less than 48 hours away, but the Boston Red Sox are still open to making moves.ahead of Tuesday night, Boston could be a good match for a utility player who hasn’t appeared in a game yet this season.
The Red Sox are looking for infield depth and a right-handed bat, and Tommy Edman of the St. Louis Cardinals provides both. In fact, Edman is a switch-hitter who plays multiple positions in the infield and outfield at an elite level .on Saturday in connection to the Los Angeles Dodgers, but there’s no reason why Edman’s skill set wouldn’t also serve Boston well.
“Here’s another option who would make sense, considering his versatility: The St. Louis Cardinals’ Tommy Edman, who has yet to play this season while recovering from right wrist surgery,” Rosenthal said. “Edman plays both infield and outfield and is currently on a rehabilitation assignment at Double-A .”
Edman hasn’t played this year, as alluded to by Rosenthal, but he will return this season if all follows according to plan with his rehabilitation. Unless St. Louis asks for an overpay for Edman, acquiring him would be a low-risk move for the Red Sox and one that chief baseball officer Craig Breslow should consider over the next two days.Colin Keane is a contributing journalist for "Boston Red Sox On SI."
